Fahrradi Farfalla FXX: Ferrari de pedalar em tamanho real

Depois do Ferdinand GT3 RS, a Ferrari lança seu carro de pedalar em escala 1:1, o Fahrradi Farfalla FXX. O nome do veículo é uma combinação da palavra alemã "Fahrrad", que significa "bicicleta", com a letra "i", que é a primeira dos nomes dos produtos mais famosos da Apple.

Apesar do nome FXX, o Fahrradi Farfalla não é uma reprodução da Ferrari exclusiva para as pistas, mas uma antecipação de um futuro modelo da marca. "As formas externas do veículo são resultado de pesquisas na internet sobre como poderia ser este veículo, mas também tem um pouco das nossas próprias ideias e, claro, uma quantidade substancial de clarividência." Seria a sucessora da Enzo, por enquanto chamada F70?

O veículo traz um mecanismo tipo borboleta, que move as portas enquanto anda, como se fosse o inseto. Ao contrário da Ferrari FXX, você pode guardar o Fahrradi Farfalla FXX em sua garagem e pode rodar com ele em qualquer lugar, desde que não se importe com as buzinadas e desaforos dos outros motoristas por andar lentamente pela via.

Como se não bastasse, os criadores do Fahrradi Farfalla FXX fizeram uma paródia do comercial do Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, feito em um túnel, mas produzido com efeitos especiais um pouco menos realistas.

FAHRRADI FARFALLA FFX
- a Mimikcry Supercar

(definition: FAHRRADI - is a combination of the German word “Fahrrad”, which means bicycle, and “i” which is borrowed from the Apple society.)

Following the tremendous success of the predecessor object “Ferdinand GT3 RS”, the current model “FAHRRADI Farfalla FFX” is an attempt to further develop the concept of the mimicry encasement based on muscle-driven drive technique (muscle car) in an evolutionary manner.
Unlike Ferdinand, however, the Fahrradi is not a copy of an existing car model, but rather the anticipation of a future top model of an actually existing automobile brand.
The external form of the vehicle is the result of Internet research into various real and fictive design ideas about what this vehicle could look like, but also our own ideas of design and, not least of all, a substantial portion of clairvoyance.

Another substantial difference to the predecessor model is a built-in butterfly mechanism. An angle gear attached to the rear axle moves the wing doors while driving, resulting in a wing beat similar to that of a butterfly (Farfalla in Italian).
This ensures that it is possible to lift off slightly from the ground at all times (= anti-gravitation).
An even better ventilation of the interior is a side effect.

The next innovative step was the attempt to further constrain the already extreme slowness of the predecessor Ferdinand through an even greater transmission ratio. This makes the Fahrradi a serious rival for pedestrians in street traffic as well.
By (Austrian) law, the Fahrradi can be driven at any time on public streets.
Night-time use is ensured by a modern lighting system based on approximately 200 ultra-bright LEDs.

Along with the Ferdinand GT3 and the Veyron UC, the Fahrradi is part of the racing sport team MT RACING, founded in 2011.
MT – Mikadotrochus (Latin) or Millionaire’s Snail avoids shallow waters. The habitat of this snail in the depths of the ocean is so difficult to access that it turns this individual into an extraordinary delicacy.

Jacques Villeneuve drives Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari 312 T4 at Pista di Fiorano

Villeneuve remembered on track at Fiorano

Maranello, 8 May – This morning, at the Fiorano Circuit, one could be forgiven for imagining that Gilles Villeneuve was back on track, when shortly after 10.30, a 312 T4 rumbled out of the pits prior to doing a few laps of the track. In fact, this was a special commemoration organised by Ferrari as a tribute to the Canadian driver who raced for the Maranello Scuderia from 1977 until he died tragically during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix on 8 May 1982. On the thirtieth anniversary of his death, his son Jacques took to the track in his memory, at the wheel of the same car with which his father won three races in 1979 and that his team-mate Jody Scheckter drove to take the Drivers' Championship title. Taking part in the event were Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo, the Vice President Piero Ferrari, the Scuderia Ferrari drivers, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, the Managing Director, Amadeo Felisa and the engineer, Mauro Forghieri, who was Technical Director in Gilles' day. Many fans were drawn to Maranello by the ever present memory of the courageous driver and bringing the event to life, they were joined by Villeneuve's mechanics, his widow Joann and their daughter Melanie, who had been by his side back in those unforgettable days.

We won the world, together. Congratulations, Graham. The racer’s edge. Another successfully tested product of the STP Corporation.
